New Agenda on Sunday is out! Edition of 6th May 2018


Good morning everyone

Summer has arrived, hasn't it? With temperatures soaring to the mid twenties or even the thirties over this Bank Holiday weekend, we may be excused for throwing off our woolies and dragging the BBQ out from the back of the garage, wiping off the dust accumulated over the past months, and firing up the coals. Unfortunately, they are forecasting that it will become "less mild" over the coming week. Such is the way with Britains weather.

An elderly woman waited for over three hours for an ambulance after falling in Weymouth town center this week. This is but one of a growing number of instances where cuts to the NHS have resulted in unacceptable delays in A&E departments, treatment appointments and in this case, delays in ambulance attendance. Notwithstanding that the majority of ambulance services are in fact operated by private companies, expenditure cuts invariably result in delays at the expense of patients.
It is a scandal and a disgrace and the blame lies squarely with this wretched government.

There is a consensus of opinion in the ranks of the media, even those on the right of the political spectrum, (which of course is the majority of them), that the government of Theresa May is crumbling into a fragmented, bickering shambles of conflicting views on customs arrangements following Brexit and the never ending problem of the "hard" border between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.

It seems that supermarket giants Sainsbury and ASDA are to merge, forming the largest supermrket group in the country and becoming bigger than Tesco, who until now have been the market leader with the biggest share of sales in the UK. Will the new Sainsbury/ASDA company (or SASDA as it could be known) have lower prices on their shelves and a few more helpful staff around the store, (rather than the, admittedly few, indifferent "assistants" wandering around at the moment)? Somehow I think not as history has shown us that over time the prices continue to rise, choice becomes even more limited and service declines.


Image result for queen and louis

A headline on the internet caught my attention this week which left me shaking my head in disbelief. The offending words, "The Queen shows how she is training Louis to be a Royal" epitomises the obssesion with royalty in the media and in many parts of society, which I personally find unhealthy.
The baby is only 22 days old for crying out loud. There are some moronic sycophants in the media.


Have a nice week

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
